Yep. I think people lose perspective as it was 150 years ago and the nation was so different then politically, socially and technologically. All parties on both sides were working in self-interest. Many abolitionists fought slavery for altruistic reasons, for example, but many others were small landowners who feared the power of huge plantation owners. A sort-of 99% vs. 1% argument at the time.
It's hard to discuss this intelligently as people get so emotional

My Founding Fathers knew their actions violated British law, and they'd be hung to death if they lost, like Nathan Hale. They didn't spend much time whining to the contrary. But my Founding Fathers didn't fight for a "cornerstone" of racism and slavery. The confederacy did. That's why the CSA is supported today by a few sick assholes who hate America and the Constitution, and wish states could engage in slavery, segregation and other unfettered tyranny under a reinstated Articles of Confederacy.

@GloryBound87 That's ridiculous. Of course there are times when fighting is the right moral choice. The Civil War isn't one of them, spammer. The South had no legal right to unilateral secession, and no moral right---unless you don't think slavery and racism are wrong. You should drop the act and argue the REAL reason you believe millions of black people and their descendants deserved MORE years of slavery and segregation.

@kuwinsitall I agree. I don't have any illusions for why the Southern states seceded, nor about why they lost. The Union beat them. The war's over.
@GloryBound87 "and more than a handful of new Supreme Court justices, so clearly changing the law by voting hasn't worked. Filing suit hasn't worked. What other option is left except for nullification?"
Okay, I get it now. Even though you keep saying "we the people", you don't actually believe in democracy. If every Congress for the past 40 years hasn't tried to repeal the law, then the people obviously want it to stay. You prefer oligarchy, where a small group can overrule the people.

@GloryBound87 "What if the Supreme Court upholds a clearly unconstitutional law?"
Congress made the law, the President approved it, the Supreme Court confirmed its constitutionality. If you don't like the law, you have to wait until the next elections. Then you can elect officials who will change the law.
"We, the People, have no recourse?"
No, because the people elected the federal officials. The people have to deal with their decisions.
